American Lamb Jam Returns to Boston April 12, 2015

After what has seemed like the longest winter ever, Spring, wonderful, sunshiney, happy Spring, is finally clawing its way through the snow piles. Now what could be a better way to celebrate this incredible arrival than with piles and piles of delicious lamb? One of the best events of the year occurs each year as the grass begins to sprout- Lamb Jam!Held this year on April 12, Lamb Jam, hosted by the American Lamb Board brings together 20 different chefs, from all over New England, competing for the title of champion with their own unique takes on globally inspired lamb dishes. If you are looking for the place to truly experience lamb- this is it. Feast on lamb from the likes of Tiffani Faison, Robert Sisca, Chris Gould and so many others, and then was it all down with a selection of locally sourced beers from Mystic Brewing, Smuttynose Brewing Company, Jacks Abby and many others...its one heck of a party.

It may surprise you how incredible lamb really is. A lean protein, packed with omega-3s and, that which is raised here in the US contains no artificial or synthetic growth hormones. But you know- why don't I let an expert tell you about why American lamb is best? I was able to attend an amazing lunch at Tavern Road celebrating lamb a few weeks ago and Mary from North Star Farms had some great things to say!

Lamb Jam every year produces a fantastic event and one great way to kick off Spring so get your tickets now- they will sell out!
